What’s Happening on Campus?
Last week’s post described some of the many ways JMU students get involved in clubs, organizations, sports, and more. Finding outlets for you to explore interests, socialize, and gain experience outside the classroom can be very rewarding. Whether you signed up to join 5 clubs or 0 clubs at Student Org Night last week, JMU still has awesome events and opportunities for you to meet other people, relax, have fun, and strike a healthy academic/social balance.
This public events calendar is chock full of recitals, concerts, art exhibits, speakers, poetry readings, and more. Many of these events highlight the awesome things JMU students and faculty are doing. Use the navigation links on the right-hand side of the campus events calendar to narrow your search.
The
University Program Board (UPB) is a student-run, student funded organization that works to offer a variety of educational and entertaining programs to complement your academic experience while bringing programs to educate and enlighten the JMU student body. Events offered include concerts, movies, speakers, comedians, novelty acts, Late Night Breakfast, and many more which are open to ALL students and are often FREE!
Showing off your school spirit and “purple pride” is also a great way to meet new people, share a common experience, and support your fellow student-athletes! With our first home football game and many other fall sports team events right around the corner, now is a great time to check out the Athletics Calendar and mark down the games and events you want to attend. And the best part? Tickets are FREE to students! For more information and important policies, check out the
student athletic tickets website. Get ready to throw some streamers and sing the fight song!
